[@debhargreaves5535]

Thank you for a very thorough explanation. One of the best tutorials I’ve watched. I learned a few new things too!!!

[@kwaya2011]

So clear and precise, love the chain cast on and stretchy bind off. Learnt a lot. Many thanks

[@hellomsyarn]

Fantastic!

[@jammerjen5504]

Much appreciated!! 😊 I'm going to use these stitches to make a hat gor my nephew. I think he'll really like it! 👍

[@folukeogundiran9849]

Beautiful! Really you are a good instructor. I enjoy every bit of it. Thank you 😊 💓

[@tonmarinaxxzz]

Excellent tutorial. Slow enough to understand,yet fast enough to keep attention. I had no idea that so many different projects could be made on these round looms. Thank you for my renewed interest in my looms. I’ll give this a try👍👍

[@hellomsyarn]

Glad to hear you will try this out!

[@jaminejedly3297]

The video is fantastic. Thank you for your specificity. I'm going to make one tonight. I've never seen that type of cast on. Interesting.

[@hellomsyarn]

The chain cast on is one of my favourite cast on methods.

[@annehart5584]

Ok… got it with the casting off… had to watch it again… thanks for the tutorial.. step by step very helpful!

[@hellomsyarn]

Great to hear!

[@tracycoyne2920]

I followed your video and made a headband/earwarmer. It looks nice. thank you for the help. I will be watching multiple times to be able to make more.

[@hellomsyarn]

Hope the project goes smoothly.

[@hmackenzie7]

[@hellomsyarn]

Wonderful, thank you.

[@geraldinereed1932]

This is the first time I have seen and heard about this. I just might try it sometime!! Very suitable method to knit ear warmers.

[@hellomsyarn]

Hope you can give it a try! Thanks.

[@lonelystarX]

This looks great! I’m generally no good with things like this but your very clear method of teaching and the not-too-complicated way of this design gives me confidence that I can do this one!

[@hellomsyarn]

Wonderful to hear, keep it up!

[@glynnisj4037]

You are an incredible teacher. Thankyou so much.

[@hellomsyarn]

Thanks for the encouragement.

[@Sue_z_q]

I just made this. However, i didnt do 20 rows because it was looking too wide. I did 18. I probably should have backed it to 16. I like how it looks. Used varigated color strand.

[@hellomsyarn]

16 or 18 rounds sounds good! Thanks for sharing.

[@pattyolson3842]

I was wondering how wide it came out. I'm glad I looked through the comments and found yours. I'll do 16 rows, as I don't want it to be too wide. Did you use the 36 or 41 peg loom? I'm thinking 36. My head is smaller than a friend of mine, who I adapted a different headband for size.

[@francesmills3785]

Thank you I loved that double moss stitch.

[@hellomsyarn]

Oh good!

[@irishhenderson8205]

Looks easy enough. I will try it thanks!

[@irenejuppe1980]

Hi! 😃 Thank you for sharing your video. You explain the directions very clearly. I’ll have to get my loom out & try the double moss stitch. Thank you 😁

[@hellomsyarn]

I'm glad!

[@pamelabennett2143]

Excellent tutor!

[@RassieClaassen]

If you have a equal peg loom how do you end of row 1.? Because you are ending of with a k k. on 35 and 36. Then for row 2 you must start again on peg 1 and 2 with a k.k.

[@carolemartin5918]

Wow just watch your tutorial can’t wait to try it out

[@hellomsyarn]

Thank you.

[@JustChisoni]

So clear. Thank you!

I’m going to make one on 36 loom ❤

[@sarahharrison8520]

Pretty kitties

[@PatJ4457]

Great tutorial I can’t wait to try it.

[@linda4669]

Hello, I love your videos. you are fantastic. I am a bit confused though I started making this and mine is so much bigger than yours. when you count rounds, I use a stitch counter so each time I do a round I click it? As of right now my stitch counter is at 20, so i will take it off the loom. It looks so much wider that yours. I don't know why. I am still new at this and i thank goodness that there are videos. i would be lost without them. thank you so much

[@hellomsyarn]

It doesn't shock me that yours is wider. People have different tension.

[@chintabajaj8442]

Very good. Are you able to show on a rectangle loom please. Thank you

[@donnastrout1178]

My question is how do I handle the extra 3 pegs on a 31 peg loom. I'm an adult woman with a very small head. I've started three headbands, and down to a 31 peg loom. I was up to 14th row, but my pattern is way off. Like a 41, it's not a perfect 4 peg. It has 3 left over. I'm not sure how to handle this. I love the way you had me mark it! And I took the 31 peg one off the loom, and it fits! Just now the seed pattern.

[@hellomsyarn]

For rows 1 and 2, do K K P on the last three pegs. For rows 3 and 4, do P P K. I haven't tested this, but it should work just fine.

[@barbaragagne8403]

Making tassels

[@LaMandeville]

Great video instructions! I'm used to working counterclockwise just because I'm right handed and it's easier to hold the loom in my left hand while knitting so I had to train my brain while watching your video. One question, since this is a great project for leftover yarn, have you measured how many yards you used while making this on both the 41& 36 peg looms? It would be really helpful for future projects to make sure we have enough "leftover yarn" for this project. Thanks! Glad I found you on KZbin!

[@hellomsyarn]

Unfortunately I didn't measure the yardage, and I don't have a digital scale to weigh the items and then approximate the length needed. Maybe do fewer than the recommended 20 rounds if you see you don't have enough length for the stretchy bind off?

[@LaMandeville]

@@hellomsyarn FYI, now that I've made a couple of these, here is what I've learned. The 41 peg size using 20 rows of the #6 Thick & Quick Yarn was too big for my female head (and even very loose on my husband's head). I used a 36 Peg loom and did 16 Rows and it was perfect! And that size uses about 31 yards of yarn. Hope this helps!

[@hellomsyarn]

@@LaMandeville Those are great findings, and might be helpful for others. Thank you for sharing this useful info.

[@peggygillespie4494]

Hi, I like that you show us how to do your project. Would I be able to make this a hat with a bun

[@hellomsyarn]

In theory, yes, it's possible, but I have not tried this. It would look cool, I think.

[@kathymckissock5100]

Very pretty pattern! love your tutorials ❤😊

[@hellomsyarn]

Thanks for your support!

[@lindaickes9852]

In the bind-off, Sometimes you say peg number, sometimes you say left, I am lost as I knit to the right.

[@Sewwhatsknitting]

I am using a 40 peg loom how do I do the stretchy bind off when I don't have that 1 extra peg. Can anyone help?

[@hellomsyarn]

You can do the stretchy bindoff with any number of pegs. Start by going down peg 1, up peg 40, behind peg 1.

[@coffeenut9154]

Thank you for showing up I made a few for my family and realized i did it all wrong lol my first row was kk pp second row i did was ppkk and did that for 20 rows then I came back to the video today and was like omg I did it all wrong

[@hellomsyarn]

Well sometimes even when you don't follow the instructions, you still end up with something wonderful and original.

[@patgaff2536]

Great video. You show and explain well. New subscriber here. Thank you.

[@hellomsyarn]

Thanks!

[@tammyjensen8805]

What is the loom gauge or spacing between the pegs?

[@enasahmedfathy3400]

How can i use this stitch to make a scarf plz ???

[@annmariewilliams5751]

Hello where would I find the written pattern for this project.

[@malaneeditzler9453]

Will the pattern still work if I work my yarn the other way naturally to the right?

[@hellomsyarn]

Oh yes, I just work clockwise out of habit. Feel free to work towards the right.

[@lindaickes9852]

Yes, I work counter-clockwise to right. The cast off doesn't work for those of us who work to the right.

[@bridgetbenson5013]

With a loom that is divisible by 4 rows 1 and 2 will end with P,P and rows 3 and 4 will end with K,K correct? Wanting to make sure I have look marked correctly. Also do you have any patterns for fingerless gloves?

[@hellomsyarn]

Yes, the marking seems right. And unfortunately no, I don't make fingerless gloves.

[@bridgetbenson5013]

Can you use the e-wrap cast on for this pattern? Having trouble getting the chain cast on loops tight

[@hellomsyarn]

Yes, I think you could. But you would likely need to tighten it up at the end, that's all.

[@melissareid4435]

Got to watch again got a little confusing with the different stitches you did

[@annastringer9925]

Did you do 20 rounds total on the 36 peg as well?

[@hellomsyarn]

Yes, 20 rounds.

[@marysabin5319]

Hi, It's my first time making this and have a question. Is every round of 4 considered one set? I've done 5 sets of 4 rounds but doesn't look as wide as your video.

[@hellomsyarn]

That's OK, everybody knits differently. When you are at the width you like, just stop and bind off.

[@marysabin5319]

@@hellomsyarn OK Thank you.

[@allisonshearer6240]

May I ask what the green tape on your loom is for?

[@hellomsyarn]

I used tape to mark peg 1, but I didn't really need to since this brand of loom comes with an anchor peg. But the extra marking is more visible to me, and reminds me to start a new row.

[@allisonshearer6240]

Ohh okay, thank you! I'm just super curious I couldn't stop wondering about it lol 😋

[@orahill5937]

What size yarn should you use to make the ear warmer?

[@hellomsyarn]

I used #6 super bulky.

[@tanyaelsom690]

Hi there Quick question...if im using the 36 peg loom, is the last stitch of each row the opposite as the one beside, like you did with the 41

[@hellomsyarn]

I am actually not sure since I'm having trouble visualizing it at the moment. Sorry, it's been a while. If you can test it out, I'd be interested in knowing how it works out.

[@lindaickes9852]

36 is even number so you won't need to worry about that extra odd stitch. The pattern is simply kkpp, kkpp, ppkk, ppkk for each set.

[@samanthasarah5896]

Sadly this tie off method destroyed my chenille yarn and ultimately hours of work on a project... Would recommend adding for us beginners that this method will onlu work with specific yarns.

[@hellomsyarn]

Oh shoot, sorry to hear this. This type of breakage had not occurred to me.

Hi my name is Julietta....I love the Pattern 💛🧡... please do you have this Pattern in a Long Loom....I will like to make a Scarf with it...thank you for the video

[@eqraal7adtha]

Thanks for the great work i love it🤍🤍

[@bigmama873]

can #4 yarn be use ?

[@hellomsyarn]

You could use one or two strands of #4, but since I haven't tested it, I wouldn't know about the finished circumference. I suggest that you do maybe 8 rows and see whether or not the size is suitable.

[@bigmama873]

Thank you so much

Hihi its mee again 🤩 I will like 2 do a Scarf with the Double Moss Stitch....can u help me please.. thanks With the Round Loom

I'm not sure if this stitch will work well. I seem to remember trying to make a scarf, and instead of being a rectangle, it was a parallelogram.

[@tpuglas1474]

Hi I just finished making the earwarmer/Headband from your Double moss stitch video and it is not 20inches/51 cm. It is only 4inches. What did I do wrong?

[@hellomsyarn]

Do you mean that 4 inches is the width? If so, you're on the right track. The length/circumference would be 20 inches.

[@hellomsyarn]

@@tpuglas1474 When I indicated 20 inches as the length or circumference, that's the length when it's folded, so 10 inches on one side, and 10 on the other. Does it fit around your head?

[@tpuglas1474]

@@hellomsyarn yes it does fit my head. And I also measured both sides and they are both 10 inches.
